Abstract: The dosing pump #1 has suction and pressure pipes which are both controlled by valves. A degassing valve #2 has a cylindrical valve body (16) which can only be moved between closed and opened position during suction and pressure strokes. The valve body is positioned in a housing (12) between two valve seats (19,20) via a guide (15). This guide surrounds the valve body with little room for play, forming a throttle path for the liquid dosing medium. Conical sealing surfaces, working with the valve seats, are positioned at the facing sides of the valve body. The seats are constructed from elastic O-rings and the valve sits below an adjustable load, such as a spring.

Abstract: Circuitry for performing hardware assisted XOR operations to generate parity bits for a disk array system. The circuitry includes a controller that acts as an interface between a PCI bus and a DRAM that includes a write-posting cache portion and an XOR buffer portion. The DRAM has a maximum data storage capacity, and the controller is allocated an address space that is twice the maximum storage capacity of the DRAM. The address space is divided into two portions, a normal address range and an XOR address range. A write to the normal address range produces a normal write cycle to the DRAM, while a write to the XOR address range generates a read-modify-write XOR cycle to the DRAM. In the read-modify-write XOR cycles, the read data are XORed with the write data. Selected data are cumulatively XORed to generate new parity information. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for fastening a sealing foil (4) to an underlying structure (1). Before the sealing foil is provided, bonding elements (2) are provided on or in the underlying structure. In many cases gravel or the like is provided on the sealing foil with a view to weighting said sealing foil. The use of a thermal adhesive element as the fixing means and a proper heat-conducting foil as the sealing foil makes it possible to make the joint between bonding element and sealing foil after the sealing foil has been provided.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FR96/01251 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 21, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 21, 1998 PCT Filed Aug. 6, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/07423 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 27, 1997An optical device for homogenizing a laser beam is described. Such a device is commonly used in the surface treatment of an object. The device consists of front lenses that are bonded together to form an assembly of lenses that breaks the laser light into multiple beams. This results in the homogenization of the gaussian profile of the beam intensity as viewed perpendicular to the beam's propagation. Advantageously the matrix of lenses is formed using groves or bevels in a manner that minimizes losses resulting from light impinging on glue disposed upon the entire lateral surface of the front lenses. In the invention gaps between front lenses that cause interference with the light path are eliminated. This gap free bonding is accomplished by filling the groves or bevels with glue, inserting a rod or wire into the grove to assemble the front lenses in a support frame, bonding a grill to assembled front lenses, or by using a combination of gluing with a support frame.

Abstract: To cut a groove or seat with spherical undercut surfaces, extending from a drilling in a workpiece, a spherical miller is used with a cylindrical section in the equatorial plane. The spherical miller is rotated round an axis at right-angles to the equatorial plane and, at the same time, the axis is oscillating round a swing centre which coincides with the centre of the spherical miller. There is a tool with a universal joint, where one part has telescopic links to common rotating units (13,14) at a body (15) which carries the spherical miller (11). The other part is at a shaft (18) at the spindle of the milling machine, rotating with it. A spring unit is between the body and the shaft, which normally hold the axis of the miller with the axis of the tool holder and the spindle, and brings it back.

Abstract: For separating off non-ferrous metals from a stream of particles or separating non-ferrous metal particles from one another on the basis of composition, size, shape or density, by means of eddy currents, use is made of an installation having a rotor which is rotatable about an essentially vertical axis and has a number of magnets distributed over 360 DEG , the north and south poles of said magnets alternating at the circumference, the jacket surface of which rotor, or a guard plate covering said jacket surface, having the shape of an optionally truncated cone. There are means for rotating the rotor and feed means for feeding the stream of particles to the jacket surface of the rotor or said guard plate. Said last-mentioned feed means are so constructed that the particles to be separated impinge on the cone surface along an essentially closed circular strip. During rotation of the rotor a magnetic field is generated which is sufficiently powerful tangentially to repulse the conductive particles, or some of the particles which are to be separated on the basis of composition, size, shape or density, from the rotor surface or guard plate surface, such that a radial separation between the particles is achieved. An exceptionally good separation efficiency is achieved by this means. <IMAGE>
